Bourbon Revival Band

Bourbon Revival Band

Playing Friday, June 2, 7-10 pm

The food truck this evening will be Peace Pizza.

About the Band: Bourbon Revival formed in 2018, when a few of Kentucky’s top bluegrass musicians began their mission to fuse bluegrass instruments with Classic Rock, Pop and Country. Their core objective was to preserve the original nuances and dynamics of their popular song selections while accenting the beauty of acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass.

The end result is a high energy band that is now Kentucky’s #1 Rockin' Bluegrass Band. Featuring Matt Phelps on guitar and vocals, Jeff Baxter on bass and vocals, Tom Barito on banjo and vocals and Nathan Livers on mandolin and vocals, Bourbon Revival Band will have us dancing our way into summer!

The Cincy Brass

The Cincy Brass

Playing Friday, August 18, 7-10 pm

The food truck this evening will be Cool Guys Dogs & Fries.

About the Band: Perhaps the best way to describe The Cincy Brass is, "N'awlins Soul Meets Cincinnati Funk.” This 9-piece brass band plays everything from mainstream radio hits to big band favorites, fusing elements of funk, hip-hop, and jazz into everything they do. What transpires from The Cincy Brass is one of the most sonically exciting, upbeat shows in town. This is one you won’t want to miss!

Ralph and the Rhythm Hounds

Ralph and the Rhythm Hounds

Playing Friday, September 8, 7-10 pm

The food truck this evening will be Jill’s Mobile Kitchen.

About the Band: Ralph and The Rhythm Hounds are known for producing some of the city’s finest modern blues and rock music. This one-of-a-kind sound can perhaps be best explained by the fact that the band has been performing together since 2003. Their first album, “Mesmerized,” was released in 2016, followed by the two-song EP “Hole In My Heart” in 2022.  

Band members include frontman/vocalist/guitarist Noah Cave, vocalist/guitarist Ralph Cave, drummer John Griffin, and bassist David "Tiny" Enderle, with guest performances by keyboardist Chris Bentley. The band has received such distinguished honors as first place in the 2019 Dayton Blues Challenge and the 2021 Cincy Blues Challenge and was awarded the right to perform in the 2020 and 2022 International Blues Challenges in Memphis, Tennessee. Say “goodbye” to summer with us as we close out the Music Under the Moon season with Ralph and the Rhythm Hounds!
